Hello,
I am trying to build a recipe that does the following:
1. Takes a bounce notice for an email I send out and filters it for the
email address.
2. I want it to pass that email address to a perl program I wrote.
Arent't you by any chance trying to re-implement a *gasp* mailing-list
manager? You know there are some packages that do that for you...
I have been reading all the man pages and web sites but I haven't gotten a
good way to grep through the body to grab the email address of the intended
recipient. This what I have so far:
:0b
* ^FROM_MAILER
{
arg1 = email address grepped from body of text. How do I do this?
|myperl.pl $arg1 || EXIT
#throw out the message don't need it anymore.
/dev/null
}
I am sure that there are about a million ways to do this. If you could give
a clue as to where to look or just some general advice I'd be very happy.
Why don't you feed the whole body to your perl script and try to parse
e-mail addresses from there?
:0bw
* ^FROM_MAILER
| my_scripl.pl
